Greetings all, I have the following proposal which I have dubbed 'micro-manuals'. <a href="https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/micro-manuals">https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/micro-manuals </a> <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaulSchulz/UbuntuServerDocumentation">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaulSchulz/UbuntuServerDocumentation</a> I don't think the idea is radically different than what is currently being done, but the information would fit between Community Wiki Documentation and the Official Guides and serve a specific purpose (see blueprint). The sections in the Ubuntu Server Guide would be suitable candidates, particularly the one discussing installation of system services. The following are some that that I have started preparing for myself: <a href="http://community.mawsonlakes.org/mediawiki/index.php/Category:Micro-manual">http://community.mawsonlakes.org/mediawiki/index.php/Category:Micro-manual</a> I also have some ideas on how to get this documentation written and maintained and supported by the community, but I would just like to float the concepts past everyone first.
